Happy Memorial Day, everybody! The unofficial start of Summer is finally here! While many of us still work all summer, it’s nice to spend our weekends exploring, adventuring, and having a good time with friends and family. Sometimes we like to throw a bit of relaxation in there to change things up a bit, hehe.

We went to Shark Fin Cove in Davenport, CA on Saturday and spent a solid 3 hours searching for sea glass in the sun. Our hard work paid off; I found some red, blue, and even a purple piece! I’m working on creating a sea glass rainbow for my window sill.

Sunday, we went to the Presidio in San Francisco for the Picnic at the Presidio. We were celebrating a birthday in the family and it was so much fun!

Links for my outfit: top and pants from Old Navy, cross-body bag is Kate Spade (an outlet steal!), scarf is from Urban Outfitters (old), and clogs are from Lotta from Stockholm.

Isn’t it beautiful at the presidio? I love brick buildings so I was pretty much in heaven! When I saw this house, I had to snap a picture – brick, columns, white, windows, flowers… if I could move in today, I would!

At the picnic, there were tons of food trucks and stands, and it was hard to choose! I found myself wanting a bite of everyone’s food, haha – there was pizza, fresh-squeezed lemonade, Vietnamese food, Indian food, barbecue, and more. First, I grabbed some of the freshest lemonade I’ve ever had from Farm Stand Lemonade, it was perfect and a little bit tart, just how I like it!

Next, I headed to Del Popolo for a fresh Margherita pizza, so delicious… plus, their food truck was so cool to look at:

Very industrial chic. Their pizza was amazing, although a bit burnt on the crust, but considering they cooked it on the spot, I was impressed.

My love and I had a wonderful time celebrating his sister’s birthday and trying something new in the city!

Today, we’ve had more of a low-key day: we went to brunch and Marshall’s, and then we went for a long walk on West Cliff drive, where I stopped to admire the California poppies and Penny Lane tried to eat a bumblebee.

Based on her face, I think Penny has enjoyed the weekend! I hope you’re all enjoying this weekend – tell me some of your favorite summer activities in a comment below!
